Default Not Good News

To recap, my DH had his right kidney removed because of cancer this past January.

He went in last week and had CT scans. They discovered that he has metastases in his lungs, that the kidney cancer has spread.

We have an appointment Thursday with an oncologist, who will be setting up chemotherapy for him. It will last one month, not every day, and will consist of a mixture of IV's, shots, and pills.

One good thing is that three years ago they didn't have this protocol, and survival rates were low and short.

He is ready to start chemo as soon as possible.

We're trying to stay positive, but it's only been nine months and there is already spread of the cancer.

Please keep Arnold in your thoughts and prayers.
